Limits of CSP Problems and Efficient Parameter Testing

Abstract

We present a unified framework on the limits of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) and efficient parameter testing which depends only on array exchangeability and the method of cut decomposition without recourse to the weakly regular partitions. In particular, we formulate and prove a representation theorem for compact colored $r$-uniform directed hypergraph ($r$-graph) limits, and apply this to $r$CSP limits. We investigate the sample complexity of testable $r$-graph parameters, we discuss the generalized ground state energies and demonstrate that they are efficiently testable.
